piaget mens gold watch circa 1980

Piaget Altiplano automatic ultra-thin watchThe Swiss watch making brand is well-known for its in-house ultra-thin automatic calibers. Entering the business of hairbreadth-thin movements in 1957, Piaget continues its journey with the new Altiplano model powered by their newest Calibre 1208P automatic movement.Being only 2.35 mm thick, the movement is 29.9 mm in diameter (perhaps, Piaget’s engineers needed more real estate for the micro-rotor, which is made of 22-carat yellow gold) hence the relatively large case 43 mm in diameter and 5.25 mm thick.Although in its press release Piaget calls its new movement “the thinnest” on the market and uses the word “record” six times, I may remind you that the Calibre 1208P in only 0.1mm thinner than Audemars Piguet’s Calibre 2120/2802 self-winding movement with its full-fledged perpetual calendar complication.The Piaget Altiplano can only display hours, minutes and seconds.Well, at least it will be much less expensive, I suppose.

At first I was so confused��just couldn't believe that its one watch that can be worn in three different angles. For ultimate style, elegance and attitude, just strap it on your dainty wrist and leave the rest to envious eyes. The Piaget Limelight Magic Hour watch has a very unique design to create three different looks that uses a special mechanism developed in the Piaget workshops. Wear it horizontally, at 45 degrees or vertically��..what ever suits your mood. Which ever way you turn it the watch reveals its diamond-set golden numerals and sparkles with dazzling radiance. Thirty-six diamonds light up the opulent elliptical gem-set bezel that turns above a delicately guilloch��-patterned dial. Successively demure, unexpected or flamboyant, "Magic Hour" tunes into and reflects your changing moods. This unique model magnifies all aspects of femininity through a daringly avant-garde, elegant watch displaying inimitable creativity and proudly bearing the Piaget signature. This model features an integrated case and bracelet, no lugs, and took 800 hours to develop.
